the husband of a very controlling, house cleaning, baking maniac, project starting, mess making, obsessive compulsive disorder and sometimes very rude and hateful wife.
You see I am married to ONE of the GREATEST men on the planet (there are only 2 of them, one being my Dad and the other being Phil). I am most days, bagging on him because he leaves dishes in the sink, cups all over the kitchen, crap all over the table, and never cleans like I would do it or as fast as I want him too and he sometimes YELLS at my babies more or louder than I would like him too. But in all honestly, I am married to a man who does laundry, mops my kitchen and bathroom floors, cleans toilets, unloads the dishwasher, takes out the trash, helps me with my little side business and that is just the stuff he does for me. For our children, he plays catch with all of their friends, is a baseball coach, builds things, fixes broken bicycles, manages to find time to play with them separately and gives them baths at the end of the day among the many other things to numerous to mention. As for taking care of his family, he works full time as an administrator, works part time in the evenings as a College Professor teaching classes that I couldn't even begin to comprehend, all so I can stay home and be the mother of our children.
He really is an amazing man of character (even though he gets a little loud at our sons sporting events), he is a man with great amounts of pride, he is a man who loves his children, he is a man who loves and forgives his wife even when sometimes he would rather not. He is my husband and I love him with my entire being.
Phil,
I know I don't tell you often enough how much you mean to me. I know that sometimes I am not the most pleasant person to be around and you always seem to overlook it and realize that I am who I am and no one will ever change that or take that out of me. I am so glad that you decided to stick around to see where the road would take us when everything seemed to be scary and overwhelming nearly 8 years ago. I love you more today than the day that I married you and I wouldn't trade this adventure for anything in the world. Thanks for being my husband and for being the wonderful father that you are. I look around and I know how truly blessed I am.
Always, forever and no matter what,
Tras
If I know what love is, it's because of you.
